Twitter: Ezekiel Elliot on Dak leading the team on that game winning drive

So tough that he’s the reason we were down to the 1-10 Texans!! Woohoo!!

Watching the sidelines behavior, there is something about the way this team is close. Not just Dak and Zeke. But if you watch the mic'd up on the sidelines and see how the different squads relate to each other. The TE's are funny as Hell. The offensive line, led by Martin are constantly talking about dominating physically. The defense is watching every move the offense makes and clearly roots for them.

So they are down to a team that lifted themselves up and made it a game. Then Dallas got the ball and drove 98 yards. I can't begin to express how rare that is. That was a drive to build on.

And I will say it again, Schultz is by far the best tight end on the field.

I guess that would be so if you were a newbie to watching football and ignored they put Ball in and he was the weakest link. But when they put in Peters they drove the field.

This might help you a bit.

Dak wasn't the reason for being down to the Texans, but he was the reason for leading the Cowboys to a late 4th quarter come-from-behind 98 yard drive to score and win the game! Put that in your trophy case, eagles fan.

Its okay to say both. Yes he led us to a 4th quarter 98 yard game winning drive which was great. And yes he was a big part of the reason we were down to the Texans by throwing and interception that directly lead to 7 points in the first half (which is coincidentally why we needed a touchdown drive late to win by anyway). Something that he himself said he needed to clean up in a press conference after the game.

By the way, he may have been the reason for that drive, but the defense is the reason we even could make that drive, stopping them from 1st and goal after another interception. Let's not forget that. For me the reason was the defense, yet again, bailing this offense out (note I said offense not Dak before you go calling me an Eagle fan because I guess it makes you feel better or something). That stop, at first and goal from the 4, was just as improbable as the game winning drive.

I for the life of me will never understand why there has to be absolutes in this. Dak can be both good and bad in the same game. As can anyone. It's okay to say it. We don't have to blindly hate or support him or any other player constantly. Just silly to read it, from both sides, honestly.

You're not a negative poster like the OP is. That's the difference. If people are that unhappy that they have to constantly bash them, they should find some other team to follow or another sport to watch.

Dallas was winning 14-10 prior to Dak's 1st INT which resulted in a Houston TD and a 17-14 Houston lead.....Dallas only scored 6 points until the last game winning drive which saw Dallas behind 23-20.....and on Dak's 2nd INT if Houston had not failed to score a TD on such a short goal line drive Dallas would have lost.....so Dak was partly responsible for being behind.

The OP started a positive thread here. Are you referring to someone else?

If you did enough research, you would realize in reality this whole interception situation happened due to the horrible receiver routes Kellen Moore has designed which hurt our QB and actually help our opponent's defenses. Even Kurt Warner repeatedly mentions this in his QB breakdowns. Then add in the lazy route running, dropped passes and bad pass protection, well, there you have your answer as to who, what or why was responsible. Sure, Dak needs to stop taking risks inside one's own territory, but it wouldn't happen if those routes were designed much better to actually get our receivers open way much better which would make it much easier for our QB to excel.

My bad. I meant the 2nd poster, not the OP.

That first pick did hit Noah Brown's hands. Tipped or not, you have to grab that when it's in your hands.

Some fans don't understand the game is 60 minutes long.

There's a good, short video on all of Daks's interceptions this year. Some aren't his fault, some are. But what I noticed is that Dak is starting to develop a Tony Romo syndrome. He's making desperation throws that lead to picks. As if he thinks he has to make a play. This stuff really isn't that hard to clean up. I think he's talked about it.

Agreed...I think the Syndrome is confidence in ability coupled with game experience.

I think the situation is the Wide Receiving Core is not elevating their play to the level of QB1. Example remember Crayton not running proper route adjustment in the playoff game but Tony made the right throw!

Will Mclay is scouring the Free Agent Market for Veteran WRs whom know how to adjust from Man to Zone coverages....T.Y Hilton

Our best Route Runner is Dalton Shultz.

CeeDee has elevated his play but there is another level the entire Wide Receiving Core has been lacking.

I believe if Amari Cooper ran the Route Noah Brown caught on the 98 yard drive, there wouldn't be a spectacular dive but Cooper catches the pass and runs out of bounds with a double toe tap.

This is the main thing I give MM credit for. He’s built a really good locker room the last two years.

Ah...the good old "Dak gets ZERO blame when we lose and gets ALL the credit when we win " routine.

Another part that Kellen gets blame for is the "audible" calls on the LOS. The announcers were telling us what the play was and where the play was going based on the "code".

If they know...the defense knows too. And gets stuffed.

People love to blame Zeke (and he certainly has his faults no doubt)...but when they know he's getting the ball and going left tackle....well....the OC needs fired for it.
